[size=+1]GDC 2009: Split/Second First Look[/size]

Let\'s face it, reality shows are part of our culture now whether we like it or not. Black Rock Studio, the development team behind Pure, uses the reality-TV setting to create a large-scale playground for your car to plow through and blow stuff up. We met with publisher Disney Interactive to get an early look at what appears to be a fun and hectic arcade racer that will appeal to anyone who likes watching and participating in the destruction of well-put-together architecture. The demo that we saw was still unfinished, but we liked what we saw because it\'s flashy and chaotic, and being able to bring down an entire airport terminal on your opponents is awesome.


Anything goes in this reality-TV-based racer.
The goal of the game is to become the season champion by winning each race and beating out your opponents in style. Because you\'re cruising through a made-for-TV city--in our case an airport--the track is rigged with explosives that you can activate as long as you\'ve built up your power bar. Solid driving skills will help you build up your bar, so drifting, drafting, jumping, and narrowly avoiding a catastrophe all count. Triggered events range from manhole-cover explosions to car explosions, jackhammer malfunctions, and entire buildings coming down in a shower of debris. When your timing is perfect, you can take out opponents in front or behind, and you\'ll know when you\'ve succeeded when you see an over-the-top but fantastic Burnout-like wreck sequence.

The HUD elements are still in the works, so right now all the information you need is on your back bumper. Your power bar is split into three segments, so after you\'ve built up enough of your bar, blue indicators on the track will let you know that an event is coming up and you have only a small window of time to decide whether you want to trigger that explosion or save your meter for a more destructive event. When your bar is completely full, red indicators on the track will appear to let you know that you can cause a strong-enough explosion to completely alter the course, creating shortcuts...

I\'ll stay tuned on this one.

I think this game looks awesome. Been looking forward to it for a while.

That being said, I have a gut feeling there arent enough courses in the game to make it worth 60 bucks. So it just looks like a really good rent

Spectacular.

anyone else play the demo?

the game\'s a lot of fun but it\'s not worth 60 bucks.

plus i did 3 races where I saved my points/power/whatever to get the plane to come down on the runway since that looked bad ass but i could never get the game to do it. A lot of things have to line up to use it I think. 1) the track has to be changed (you can use a powerup to change the route...but then you have to recharge it) 2) you cant be in first place 3) you need your bar filled to the red by the time you\'re on the runway

but it looks like a good rent/bargain bin buy
